all the radishes I tried to grow in my raised bed never took, then I see these weird plants poking up around the stones surrounding the bed.. pulled on em, nice sized radishes came up. Guess I spilled some seeds on the ground haha...

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

LOL

[@Zennofobic]

i have a cursed raised bed that I inherited from my mom, tried to amend the soil but now i'm just gonna replace it all and take out the sprinklers, learned the hard way about over-head watering

[@julianoakes2047]

Nice to see you again, would love to see what's happening on the new homestead. You were my first homesteaders to watch and I surely miss you guys.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thank you Julia!❤️. Lots of new videos coming from our new Florida homestead. We will start releasing them on April 4th at 6:00pm👍

[@vickiulrich6694]

Anxiously awaiting the new growing season with you at the new homestead. In the meantime I watch whatever content you post. Thanks for enlightening and entertaining me!!!:):):)

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thank you so much! We will begin releasing new videos from our Florida homestead on April 4th at 6:00pm❤️

I've been growing tomatoes every summer but haven't branched out into growing anything else since my wife passed away 10 years ago. Going to give radishes a try later this summer. God bless you both.

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

y'all should google The Food Safe plastic container markings. You will learn a lot of safe tips! good luck with that

[@chondrinenigma]

Very nice video. First-time gardener here with only a 5metre x 1metre east-facing balcony - better than nothing, though! My radishes just produced leaves, I honestly had no idea about the fertalising! Seems that 'less is more' for radishes! Live and learn, though! I don't expect to get everything right first time. I'll give them another try in the autumn with this video as a guide.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

You can get a lot of food out of your small space. You will be surprised ❤️. You may want to throw in a few containers as well

[@stephaniegreen8189]

I am so grateful for your videos! They are terrifically to the point, informative, humble, creative, and edited superbly. I've struggled with radishes in my raised beds. They always seem to be out-competed, covered in straw mulch, or bothered by pill bugs/slugs. I'm trying your method today with rubbermaid food totes that are the same depth but about 1/2 the surface area as I don't think I can get through that many radishes. I'd very much appreciate knowing what other veggies that you've had success growing in the same depth containers. Thank you, Hollis and Nancy!!!

[@mikesteinberg6836]

Very much enjoy your videos and Have learned lots! Thank you and like your Ronnie Van Zant shirt " SKYNYRD"

[@giannisttakka2780]

If I'm not mistaken, the sign at the bottom of the container is not that of the recycle, just show the type of plastic

[@amygoff4127]

Another year I can't get it right with radishes ): I'll keep trying

[@benjamingough7497]

Thank you for this video. I'm just about to get my hands dirty with vegetable growing and will start with radishes. I was going to add fertilizer to the compost and so I am glad I watched this video first and can stop myself from making a mistake!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

You don’t want any nitrogen on radishes or you will get no radishes. It is good to add phosphorus in the soil to promote root growth with radishes. You can add bone meal

[@alancargill6955]

Hi both. I live in UK. Just received veg catalogue today. And guess what they have on offer.. Yes you guessed it purple plum raddish. They are marked as a heirloom variety. Thanks for spending your time together to make these videos for us all. Thanks

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Enjoy!

[@shazel8616]

Can they grow in shady place or they need direct sunlight

[@tenderfootvillage]

These are grown in just peat moss and potting soil?! What kind of potting soil! I'd love to try this!!

[@meadgunner3387]

Is there a radish that grows decent enough in the summer heat to have radishes throughout the summer?

[@homesteadblessings8886]

Those really look good. We love radishes in my house. Startted my cabbage and cauliflowers seed this past weekend and this weekend it will be broccoli. So glad to be able to start some seeds. God's blessing to you and yours

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Well done! I usually grow those in the fall❤️

[@homesteadblessings8886]

I live in Pa and I do a spring and fall crop. At least with the broccoli and cauliflower. God bless

[@shannonwylie9419]

Mine are coming up but there a a little red stem showing under the little leaves. Is that normal? Thanks.

[@TheaneraMHB]

Yup! That will fatten into the radish :)

[@edwardmartin1742]

Thanks for the tip about growing these radishes in the fall. I accidentally found your channel online. I love the way you instruct and show the process of growing over the months. Thank you, Hollis and Nancy. God bless you.

💙 love your videos💙. Question: use potting mix OR potting soil???

[@adriankap2978]

I'm thinking potting mix and here's why. I found this link, hope it helps...even though it's 2 years later. www.thespruce.com/difference-between-potting-soil-potting-mix-847812

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thank you so much! So glad you like our videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@acolley2891]

I like this method

[@adriankap2978]

Hi Hollis, my first attempt at growing radishes were a disaster because I didn’t go by your soil recipe. I tried the watermelon, French breakfast purple and another but can’t remember. This time I’ll be using your recipe but not sure which you think is best. know you have for this one 1 part peat , 2 parts potting soil. And you have one with black cow, potting and peat. Which one do you think is the best based on the radishes I listed above. My failure had maybe 1/3 inch radish width above ground but no root growth at all with any of the seeds. They were all Johnny seeds so I know they were good quality. What do you think? Please Hellllllp! lol

[@TheBusyGardener]

Fruit trees have been my main jam, but your videos have provided a lot of guidance as I've expanded to more veggies. Thanks H&N!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Fruit trees are awesome. We started an orchard at our new homestead ❤️

[@spiritammahlawrence339]

Your effort is blessed by the fruitful results.Thank God.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Yes, thank you

[@Rose-tq2xq]

Hello Sir and ma’am it’s good to see your back. I hope everything is well with ma’am. Excited to see your video. Happy gardening Sir and ma’am

[@DonnyPlunkett]

Hollis, What size container are you using there in the video to grow the radishes? What are the dimensions? You said you got it from Lowe's. I'd like to get some of those. Can you put a link to the container that you use? And the seed template is brilliant! I love that.

[@krisbrenner9601]

Bless y’all as well!! It is so nice to have a southern guide to gardening. I am in East TN, and probably have a lot of the same environment as y’all do in Virginia. Your tips are priceless and so glad I found y’all!! ~ Desert Gal in a Southern World.

[@kagnewmp12]

Love your Blessed Day videos and this one on radishes is awesome and will try it for sure. I do have one small question. You mentioned adding one part peat and two parts potting mix. Is your peat the 40 lb bag already mixed or is it those big hard bails from the nursery which I believe are called Sphagnum peat? Thanks from a Michigan Dirt Farmer.

[@garethcumming667]

Incredible..every day sun and no breeze..maybe get 2 or 3 days per year like this her in Preston, UK.. really great idea to not have to transplant.. Cheers..

[@sandradhill731]

[@miwanabanana]

We love growing radishes! The little bitty ones always yield plenty even though we give them 0 care. I think the weather has been a little funky this year (zone 9B). Our korean daikon planted in Nov barely grew then started sending up a flower/seed shoot a couple weeks ago. Snapped off the bolting part and hoping the root will keep growing.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

We are in 9A. I will be sowing my Daikon seeds in October

[@condor198364]

Hi Hollis and Nancy. I was wondering when you started your radish seeds? That’s the only thing missing from your videos, unless I missed it somewhere. Great videos, I like how you have beginning to end results. Now on to your Napa Cabbage video.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

I start them after my last predicted frost date. 👍

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

hey y'all I love your videos. I am watching all kind of y 'all's videos even 3-4 years ago. Esp the radishes and bok choi. You are very consistent and informative great casual flow. I see the filling of trays with soil and then watered well lift and drop tapping to get soil tight then place seeds close them up. Then y'all say we will check them in 10 days. ? Question are you watering them or using the initial water and rain in place of watering to not overwater during the 10 days? thank y'all for being here and helping so many folks

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Lightly water each morning to keep the soil moist not saturated

[@fotyfar]

Bless u richly what a great vid thank u 🙏🙏🙏

[@usaproud3168]

Great channel. I'm a 47 yr old man. I grew up watching and helping my father in his garden and try doing my own now. How do you deal with rain washing out your garden. Im here in south Louisiana and the rain is such a issue for me. Great channel my friend. God bless

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

After a heavy rain I cultivate between the rows to dry it out some

[@kencollins7046]

Didn't know not to fertilize radishes. Wanting to grow carrots in containers too. Would you not fertilize carrots because they are root vegetables?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

I use Bone Meal for carrots

[@columbiettesstroudsburg8340]

And love your prayer!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

[@kagnewmp12]

My question to you is a simple one. Do you pre moisten the peat before you mix it with the potting soil. I've heard that if you don't the peat will just absorb the water before the potting soil can give it to the roots.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

No

[@rcwoody2]

Hello fine folks, I have a question for you about the radishes. How do you store the ones your not consuming right away and also long term up to maybe a month?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

They will keep in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks with no problem. For long term storage Nancy ferments them

[@chicken26arick]

I love to roast my radishes. They are so good!

[@chariprice]

Have you tried growing these at your new place yet? Wondering if you were able to grow them in your new zone. Is there any other purple radishes that do better in warmer weather that you could recommend?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

I have not grown anything yet. We are still setting up the garden complex. These will grow fine here in the fall as do all Radishes ❤️

[@howlingdogranch]

Love radishes !!!! Yummy 😋!

[@_dave4460]

i started black spanish radishes a few days ago. the squirrels dug up and ate the seeds (lettuce too)...

Great job! Thanks for your videos. I started French Breakfast radish a month ago, and they still don't have true leaves. We have been hit with a lot of cold and snow in Vegas though.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

I would start over. They should only take 28 days total from planting seed to harvest

[@badanbody]

Thanks. The day after I posted this comment we hit 60°. They are doing beautifully now. Should be ready Sunday. Thanks again.

Hollis and Nancy, what do you do with the old garden soil? Do you use it for the next planting?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

I save it in my reclamation box for amending and reuse 👍. We have videos on our channel now for the reclamation box and another video on how to amend the reclaimed soil. Check them out❤️

[@shafaq007]

Hello Hollis and Nancy, Just wanted to say that I would love to see the new homestead in progress. It does not have to be perfect right now. maybe it would be a good idea to share with us how you are putting the homestead together as there are many people that may interested in getting a homestead too.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

We will begin releasing new videos from our new homestead on April 4th at 6:00pm. The videos will show the progression of our homestead step by step. If you were ever curious about what goes into starting up a homestead , then you will love the new videos❤️

[@sonjafrost4]

We have tried three years to grow radishes, the locust and grass hoppers always get the young greens. What do you use as pesticide? I saw you use neem oil spray on the potatoes, would that work for other plants?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Yes

Hi Nancy and Hollis, so glad you have resumed posting videos! I know that Hollis mentioned eating these in salad, but how do you save that many radishes? Do you freeze, can, or just store in a cool/dry place? I could grow all those radishes, but then wouldn't know what to do with them!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

No worries,!yes we moved to Florida in November 2017. We have been working on new progression videos from our new homestead since moving here. As you know, the progression videos can take months to create so we have been releasing videos we saved from our Virginia homestead until we could get enough new Florida videos ready for release. We will begin releasing new Florida homestead videos on April 4th at 6:00pm. We are looking forward to sharing them with everyone ❤️
